Update
Remember the time I posted about the Acquired Brain Injury coordinator coming to my house to meet with me? (At least I think I posted that story, she was the one who said I'd have therapists come right to my house and then later said, no that won't happen, the ABI team won't see concussion patients).
Anyway... She did a follow up visit today.
I told her the account of the psychiatrist and she says he did me a favour. Because, she said that in her experience, anytime WCB can pin symptoms on depression instead of the injury they will.
She said the ideal healing for head injury patients is drug free for a year if possible.
I thought some of you may find that interesting.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.
NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.
About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me!
